Hello @lmwanttosleep
1. "보면" is conjugated into its hypothetical/conditional form just like "if one looks..." in English.
2. "봐서" translates to "because (someone) saw".

Maybe we can have exact meaning with full context though,
usually "보면" is used like the sample @pcy0308's replied.
For the "봐서" case, the meaning of "because" + "saw" can be used for it. But in this case Koreans perhaps prefer "봤으니까" for "because I have seen it" or "봤어" for "saw it" rather than "봐서".
"봐서" is generally used like the situation below;
a : I am SO sorry. Can you forgive me?
b : "너 하는 거 봐서"
which means "It depends on you"
Thank you
